Venturing into Ebook creation and marketing could be easy and profitable. All you need to do is write, advertise and sell. However, what most people new to Ebook selling do not know is how exactly they are to sell their Ebook. Writing is easy, advertising can be done, but selling? Clueless. So, how exactly do you get to sell and give your merchandise to your customer?
Thanks to the advances in technology and the Internet, downloading of files are now available. Email is possible in giving your client his/her purchase, but this can be time consuming. Additionally, you can't be online 24/7 just waiting for Ebook orders and sending them through the email. Plus, you wouldn't want your client to be waiting for you to send the Ebook.
Its now possible for your client to get the Ebook directly from your site. Here are five easy steps how they can download your Ebooks fast and hustle-free.
Compression Matters
For your Ebook to be downloaded fast, you can compress its file size by using a program such as WinZip. Programs like this compress files and place them into one self-extracting file. Just as soon as your client clicks on the link you've placed on your site, it would install itself into whatever directory that your client chooses to download the file.
It would be better if you could put up an uncompressed and compressed version of the EBook; doing this can achieve customer satisfaction, since there are still clients that prefer to download uncompressed files.
Clean It Up
Before uploading your Ebook you should make sure it is clean, not just clean from grammatical and typographical errors, but file-wise clean. In simple terms, it should be virus free. You do not really want to spread a virus to your customers via your Ebook. Spreading a virus could give you a very bad reputation, and most probably people wouldn't buy it. Thus, before sending it online for downloading, it's a must that you do a virus-scan first.
Upload Time
As soon as your file is clean, it is now ready for uploading. You would have to send your file to your Web site for it to be accessible for your customers. Generally, you should place the file into a subfolder on your site. You can do this by accessing the control panel of your webhost; they would have instructions there for you that are really easy to follow.
Download Enabled
Once you've uploaded your file, you should make it available for download. You can place a link on one of your pages that would go directly to the file. As soon as your customer clicks that link, he/she would be prompted on where the file would be saved to their computer. Download should begin, right after.
Test Run
Lastly, you should do a test run on whether the link you've uploaded is working or not. You can do this by simply visiting your site and clicking on the link. And there you have it, simple isn't it?!
